Canal Quays 704 - One bedroom. Waterfront CT.

StarRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We stayed here for more than a week. It was spacious and clean. It had a working kitchen and washer/dryer. The water pressure was strong, and the hot water for the shower worked well. It was located just a stone's throw away from the AC Marriot and a short walk to the V&A. The host was very easy to talk to. They met us in person when we arrived and saw us off when we left. This listing looks better in real life than in their pictures! Will book again when we come back! Thank you for such a wonderful time!

Bungalow 21 - On Clifton 3rd by Steadfast Africa

LucyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This Air Bnb is fantastic. The location is right on the beach, the views from the bedroom and living area are unparalleled. The home is very well kept. Highly recommend for when visiting Cape Town. Only recommendation is that the gated car parking space is relatively small, we had a VW polo which just about fit. However, there is a managed car park next to the entrance if required. Thank you to Austin and Lizzie during our stay and Nick for hosting.

Perfect Beach Getaway

CarstenRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We stayed at this lovely place for two weeks and felt at home immediately. Very spacious and cozy 2-bdr/2bath with spectacular views and sounds of the ocean just across the road from the beach. Very convenient underground parking; supermarkets, stores, restaurants either in walking distance (or easy 5min drive). Cape Town only 30min away. James and his family were the most wonderful hosts we've ever had, extremely friendly and helpful at all times. We'll definitely be back soon! Thank you so much for these unforgettable memories.

Glen Beach Penthouse A on Glen Beach in Camps Bay

KenRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Mary Louise's place is awesome. It is right on the beach, on a section that is quiet from the rest of Camp's Bay beach. Very nice. The view is great and the sound of the waves is very refreshing! The location is down the hill from the road. ML's instructions were very clear and there was no problem with them. Parking is on the street. As an american driving on the opposite side of the street, it took a little manuvering to get right. There are narrow stairs down the hillside, so this place would not be for the elderly or those that struggle with stairs. The beds were comfortable and the showers worked well. The kitchen is well stocked and amenities were good. There is a small grocery in Camp's Bay which is easy to find. It is on the far end of the main commercial area. About a 10 minute walk, located next to the Starbucks. We really liked the robes provided. The whole area was comfortable and relaxing and we had a great stay!

Zebra house exceeded our expectations in every way. This lovely, old and characterful house is beautifully decorated with art pieces; the kitchen was cosy and the beds were wonderfully comfortable with high quality linens. The Bo Kaap neighbourhood is central for many activities and has some great cafes and restaurants. Helet greeted us on arrival and give us lots of information about the area and Cape Town generally. We had a fabulous stay and would love to return.

Sweeping Ocean Views, Large Deluxe Condo

StephanieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Our family had a lovely stay at Esta-Marita's gorgeous apartment, directly facing the ocean. The apartment is incredibly conveniently located for the weekend market, for events at the stadium, and for exploring the Waterfront area of Cape Town. The building staff were extremely responsive and helpful, letting us into the parking garage, explaining the kes and apartment amenities to us. The apartment was glorious -- panoramic views of both sunrise and sunset over the ocean!! The kitchen is vast, allowing us to cook meals as a family. There are also a lot of local restaurants and cafés in the neighborhood; but cooking at home is always nice for a family. Everything worked perfectly in the apartment. We are so grateful for such a lovely, gorgeous place to base our family in, as we explored Cape Town! THANK YOU so much, Esta-Marita!
